Tire Snow Chain Recommendation For 215/45R18 Tires on 2021 Mazda3

Published 12/09/2021

Question:

Looking to purchase chains or cables for a 2021 Mazda 3 2.5 turbo AWD. Because of the low clearance not sure which would fit best. Picture added but not the best lighting for the front wheel well. Hope to hear from you soon.

Thanks for the photo, and your 2021 Mazda3 2.5 Turbo sedan should have 215/45R18 tires, though I do recommend verifying. If so, for limited wheel well clearance you will want Class S compatible snow tire chains, and for that I recommend an option from Konig:

- Konig Standard Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link # TH01221097

These require just 12mm of internal clearance, and are diamond-pattern D-links which will give your '21 Mazda3 excellent traction on both snow and ice. The links are made from manganese nickel alloy steel so they are highly durable and resist corrosion, which means they are going to last.
